I HATE THAT!

April 2, 2008

I just lost a post full of eleventyhundred links and photos that I had worked on for over TWO FREAKING HOURS.

I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS!

Why stop there, right??

Let’s make a list!

Other things I hate/loathe/cannot stand:

  • Papaya
  • Black licorice (This includes all things related like Anise)
  • Long, dirty fingernails on little boys
  • Little kids with perpetual snotty noses and dirty faces
  • Gritty spinach/lettuce
  • My period
  • Overly sour flavors
  • People who leave the turn signal on
  • Granny panties
  • Warm, bendy pickles
  • Tepid beverages
  • Sandwiches that are too “Wet” with mayo or mustard
  • People who wear too much perfume/cologne. Especially if it sucks
  • People who constantly clear the phlegm out of their throats or sniff excessively
  • Mean people
  • People who act smug, superior, holier-than-thou
  • Fruit that looks ripe and sweet and isn’t
  • DOS
  • Yeast infections
  • Artificial cherry flavoring
  • Cough Syrup
  • Honeydew
  • The taste of alcohol
  • Camel toe
  • Spiders
  • The book, Little Children
  • The movie, Seven
  • Any design Hildy has ever done on Trading Spaces
  • South Pacific
  • Anime
  • Being too hot or too cold
  • Ingrown toenails

Oh, I could go on and on, but should probably stop and take a few deep, cleansing breaths.

Whew.

That helped to write.

Do you dislike anything on my list?  Do you have your own list?

Stumble it!

    You hate honeydew? That’s the saddest thing I’ve ever heard! Wow…

    About Hildy – wasn’t it Hildy that did that hideous bathroom wallpapered with dress patterns? Freaky… And remember the living room (I think) where she painted a giant picture of her own face with black dots on a white wall? Hello! Did she not remember that she was in SOMEONE ELSE’S HOUSE??? And wasn’t she also the one that actually thought you could paint a couch a new color and still have it comfortable to sit on? Oh, but wait, no one had to because she left it outside to dry overnight…IN SEATTLE! Oh my.

    Wow, that was a little bit of a rant, wasn’t it? It felt pretty good. I think I’ll go on over to my own blog and rant about other things! Bye! :)

  • Gretchen says:

    Anise? What has it ever done to you. I’ll never look at you the same again.

    For me it’s artifical orange flavoring.

    Otherwise it’s pretty spot on, except for the fruit-hatred.

  • Cricket says:

    I HATED the book Little Children with a passion like no other. I bought it in hardback as it was written by the guy who wrote Election and was being praised left and right. I finished the book because I hoped that there would be something good that these people would redeem themselves. It was a horrid book about horrid people. When I was reading it I would stop every so often for a break and go complain to Matty about it. I still have it and plan on burning it as I don’t really see how anyone is going to benefit by reading it. I have seen the movie Cool as Ice and still took more from it than I did from this book.(Lose the zero and get with the hero) It make me LIVID!
    Oh, I also hate hidden coconut because it gets stuck in my teeth. If it is obvious it is something with coconut I can avoid it but the hidden stuff you can’t. It usually pops up when I forgot to bring dental floss and then drives me crazy because it is stuck between my teeth.

  • DOS? as in disk operating system? Oh come on, it was so simple…

    I’m trying to get better with Linux’s CLI (command line interface) currently…and that sucks…but I like it…lol

    Anime? What?!?! I will admit so is not as good as others but there’s some great stories out there and great animation.

    My list of hates would be too long to even bother with…hahahaha

  • Heather B. says:

    There’s a guy at my office who is constantly clearing the phlegm from his throat. He is so loud and obnoxious about it and then he says that “There must be something wrong/an allergic reaction/a cold”. HE SMOKES! That is why he has phlegm. But apparently he doesn’t realize such things.

    Also, I’m going to pretend that you didn’t say that you don’t like alcohol. For the sake of our friendship.

  • I hate pretty much all those things, too, except honeydew. And, wow, I’d blocked out a lot of those things Hildy did. Ugh!

    hairyshoefairy’s last blog post..Poor Mom

  • I can agree with pretty much your entire list except South Pacific. What the crap? It actually has deeper themes than the other R & H musicals.

    I hate cantaloupe

    gum

    mixed candy

    foil

    mouth noises

    my roommate’s morning routine

    people who eat my food

    Rachel (Louisiana)’s last blog post..Well this just takes the cake…

  • Sra says:

    I remember Hildy was once doing a dining room for a couple who expressly stated they did not like modern decor. She painted the walls black (black!) and the dining table and chairs banana yellow. It was retched.

    I deal with my hatred of periods by taking several birth control packs in a row so I only have a period once every 3 months. In a way it’s better, but then when I do have one, I whine about it even more now.

  • Your list is fantastic. Boo to Hildy! You are right on. Other things right on: ingrown toenails, yeast infections, licorice…actually I agree with all of them except Honeydew. That I love. Cantaloupe though can suck it.

  • andi says:

    Ha ha ha. I hate everything on your list (with the exception of alcohol, Seven and Little Children – can we still be friends?)

    Oh, and I like black licorice, but only the salty kind (it’s a Dutch thing.)

    On my list this week are:
    -Baby socks that you can never, ever find the match for
    -Whining children
    -Men who enjoy excessive napping
    -Reality TV
    -My belly
    -My need to eat excessive amounts of sugar (see previous bullet)

    I could go on and on, but I fear this comment is long enough already. Thanks for this – it was very therapeutic.

  • loralee says:

    I knew that the alcohol thing would make people go “WTF?” but it’s true. I don’t like the taste of alcohol. I am a pathetic drinker, I’m afraid. TOTAL lightweight. It’s the actual alcohol-fumy thing that I don’t like. I love cooking with the stuff (Because that burns off and leaves the taste). And if it’s a mixed drink where I can’t taste it, that is ok, too.

    It’s why I shudder at cough syrup.

    I’m not sure why I don’t like Honeydew. I used to hate watermelon, but I like it now.

    And? I’ve added:

    EXCREMENT (In all forms, including humor)

    Moldy showers

    Having a stupid WHEEL to adjust my seat in my car instead of a lever.

    People who expose arms that should NEVER BE SEEN in a cami or sleeveless outfit.

    My cankles

    Cinnamon flavored candies: Gum, cinnamon bears, etc.

    Fruit filled chocolates (Especially cherry cordials)

    maraschino cherries

    Razor burn

    Fevers

  • VW’s are notorious for the wheeled seat recliner…everyone i’ve ever owned was that way and i can’t stand it…

    i don’t own vw’s anymore and have a perma-ban on them (well except for anything pre 92) in my house…

    cherry cordials are my most favorite, i love fruit/nut cadburry chocolates…lol

    i hate bad tasting carrots…

    Amen to 90% of your list. Might I add,

    Chewed fingernails

    Loud people at restaurants or movies

    Spandex

    Baby boy clothes covered in cars/footballs/dinosaurs/tools/etc.

    Ugly toes

    Dirty restrooms

    Over-enthusiastic hair stylists (bad haircuts)

    Over the top kid birthday parties

    The greasy feel of sunscreen

    Carmex

    I could certainly go on, but hey, this is your blog, not mine!

  • Heidi says:

    Yes, but how do you feel about blog stalkers? (please don’t add me to your list)

  • rima says:

    That list is freakin’ awesome. I think you about covered it.

    I’ve been meaning to tell you that I was so sorry to hear about your friend’s illness (I’ve been having trouble commenting on here lately – they get eaten up!) That feeling of helplessness just sucks. I hope things turn out OK.

    FREAK.

    I will try to figure out what is happening.

  • Anth says:

    Hi I wandered over here from Melain’s blog and I am very glad to find someone else who hates honeydew. I think it’s completely gross.

    And I hate snotty faced kids. It is NOT HARD to carry around kleenexes when your kid has a cold.

    However. I love black licorice.

  • I gotta defend the snotty nose kids…well mine at least, if their some one else’s then it’s a no like situation…lol

    I have to mention timed bathroom lighting (it only dawned on me today how much I hate them because I got trapped in one…stupid time limits on pooping!!!)

  • Aunt Amy says:

    My list grows…

    people who burp without saying excuse me

    people who don’t say “bless you” when you sneeze.

    Anything having to do with “Booger” on Revenge of the Nerds

    Potty Humor, or any discussion of potty behavior at all

    People who tell you their newborn slept through the night at 2 weeks or two months or anything short of a year

    women who brag about how little they gained during their pregnancy

    women who fit into their pre-pregnancy clothes coming home from the hospital (and have the nerve to tell you about it)

    smelly kitchen towels that aren’t washed after each use

    Bathroom towels that have no fluff left in them

    Ugly wedding bouquets that have a long dangly piece that hangs down a foot longer than the rest of the bouquet

    People who like to call themselves Divas

    Gold capped teeth

    Fake tans that look fake

    Makeup rubbing on shirt collars

    Dirty cars and car-seats

    Airplane blankets (why do they snag every single hangnail?)

    And of course, wooden spoons, wooden handled steak knives, and any other form of raw wood–I get shivers just thinking about them!

    I know, I know, my comments runneth over, but seriously, this post has me thinking about all the things that I really think suck, and I just can’t contain my enthusiasm in sharing them with you.

    Sorry.

  • Elizabeth says:

    Black licorice is horrible. And my MIL has some anise “perfume” or something that she dabs on. Oh. It. Is. Horrible! Yuk yuk yuk. I don’t know what that’s all about.

    I smiled at a lot of these.. you’ve made a pretty good list. I’ll have to make my own, I’m in a hate-y mood today.

    One thing I do not hate: Coke VaniLLa zero. Yum.

  • Melain says:

    Can I get a AMEN!

    I think there are only like two things on either of your lists that I don’t have strong negetive feelings toward! One being the movie Seven (It was icky, but well done) and I just can’t get myself to feel upset about your cankles. Though you have my sympathies.

    Sorry about your 2 hour loss of time. That’s a real batch.

    I have been thinking about this one for a few days.

    Mean people, mean children, my FIL, Ogden, vomit, movies with zombies in them, when socks go missing, weeds, mud, burnt food, sour candy, Gin, fireworks, my fat roll, streaks in glass, Ogden, airport security, Dr Colvin’s nurse, NASA.

    That should about cover it for now.

    How about a list of things you LOVE!!!

    This list is genius and I pretty much agree with everything. I always flip the channel when Hildy is on Trading Spaces because I can’t watch the chaos that she will inflict on unsuspecting people’s houses (well, they aren’t exactly unsuspecting, but ya know…)

    Hi, I’m Jennifer and I’m late to the party as always. Hope you’re enjoying your break.

    I’ll take my deep cleansing breath right now.
